I'm curious what version of grub caused you to come to these conclusions. Grub has been using the REISERFS_IOC_UNPACK ioctl for ages. It's the same thing lilo uses and causes those files to only use indirect blocks (ie: no tails). If you've been running into this problem with any recent version of grub, it's a bug. - -Jeff - -- Jeff Mahoney SUSE Labs -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with SUSE - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFFEptrLPWxlyuTD7IRAlsHAJ9GvQ/jJDKbWmCuAlmJxcwcl66gJwCgot5t qQBPRVmv5OWTwJ2VPX4facE= =x/4R -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
